What Girton Girls Do.

Girton is great school for girls in England. The amusements there take the form of ''rages,' just as they do outside.
 One girl student tells the following: One winter we all suffered from mania for blowing soap bubbles. and how to procure the indispensable long clay pipes without giving rise to scandal became the problem of the day. One student used to be the observed of all observers as in the half hour after dinner, when ''the tables were drawn, it was idlesse all,'' she would wait with skillful breath large bubble from the foot of the main staircase to the first floor and back again in safety. Most peoples bubbles collapsed ignonliniously at the third or fourth stair. X doll show was the next pastime; after week or two of preparation number of daintily dressed wax beauties and a few Dutch maids of all work were duly exhibited, and then sent off for the children's ward of large hospital. -Philadelphia Times

THE SALMI ROCK.
A Place in Ceylon Where an Evil Heather

A Place in Ceylon Where an Evil Heather
 Deity Is Populated.
 Landing one afternoon for visit to the Salmi Rock, we came to the remain ing fort of the place-Fort Frederick a massive structure built by the Dutch in 1875 to resist land attacks from the interior, but now occupied by an armed .,.-;sS-> .sIs,.s.1sv+~-l.ou.~ye sttUifft5, ', writes a correspondent from Ceylon.
 Passing through the fort and out to the extreme point, we came to large, rugged rock rising precipitously out of the sea to height of nearly two hun dred feet. It is known as Salmi Rock, and the natives have tradition that it is occupied by one of their evil deities, to propitiate whom their Hindoo priest holds a sacred service on the rock twice a week. The Europeans here know of only one event that has oc- cured to make the rock memorable since the first Dutch settlers arrived here. The daughter of one of the old Dutch Governors fell in love with a a young Lieutenant stationed on a Dutch man-of-war in the harbor. Her irascible old father opposed their union because the young Lieutenant had nothing but his pay, and, in order to separate them, ordered the man-of-war to sea on long cruise. As the ship sailed out of the harbor the young girl went out to the rock, waved last fare we'll to her lover, and then threw her self off into the sea and was drowned. Fortunately, we got to the rock just as the service was about to begin. On a narrow ledge right over the sea stood the priest, a fne-looking gray-headed old fellow, who was attired in the narrowest loin cloth I have yet seen. Near to him, but clear of the rock, were about fifty or sixty natiyes-the men at. tired very much like the priest, but the women resplendent in skirts of many colors and fairly loaded down witf | gold and silver ornaments in nose and | ears and on arms. ankles and toes. The priest was fairly surrounded witt load of fruits, flowers, rice and cocoa nuts-the offerings of his congregation He commenced the service by ringing 2 bell. Then. holding brass vessel. ii which was blazing fire, in his hand before him, and apparently invoking some spirit in it, he first threw some slips of paper over the face of the rock his congregation facing the sea, clasp. ing the hands in front of the body and engaging in prayer After this was over the priest opened all of the cocoa nuts, emptying the milk into bras: vessel.
 Afterward he made final prayer il regard to keeping the sea quiet so tha vessels could swim on it, and then com menced to throw part of the offering, into the sea; first some flowers, ther some rice and finally some cocoanuts How they could reach the evil deity could not learn. During the praying of the priest these poor natives looked every bit as earnest and devout as any of our congregations at home would look during Divine service.-Baltimor Sun.

A Scotch farmer rode up to toll bar, and finding the gate open he wheeled his horse round about just as he passed through, and shouted for the toll-keeper, who was invisible: "Hey!

And, wheeling his horse for the second time, he rode off ill the direction he wished to go, chuckling at the trick he had performed upon the toll-keeper.- sxchange.

Good Fences on the Farm.

Many an animal becomes breachy because of the carelessness of the farmer in looking after his fences. A board gets loose or broken, and this not having been attended to at once, the animal gets out of the inclosure. Having once done this the beast is more apt to try again, and finally even a good strong fence will not restrain it. The cheapest and best way is to build "a good fence in the beginning, and then see that it is kept in good repair, so none of the stock will be tempted to get over it or break it down. Animals kept in lots surrounded by good fences are not likely to become unruly, and if one should be obtained that has acquired this habit, it will be found better to dis pose of it, lest it not only prove a source of constant annoyance, but also be the means of making others in his herd troublesome.-Na National LiUe- Stock Journal.

Decimal Clock in wiesbaden.

There is decimal clock in Wiesbaden which is constructed on the following principle: The day has 10 hours, the hour 10 decades, each decade 10 minutes, each minute 10 seconds and each second 10 ays-thus dividing the whole day into 100,0 900 parts. A similar division is to be applied to the circle. Herr Moder, of that city, goes still further, and pro- poses to divide the year into 10 months = the even months of 36, the uneven ones of 37 days each. The advantages of this decimal system are placed in evidence, and the inventor hopes to see the same adopted before long in spite of the present opposition. York Tribune.

The only advantage possessed by the glass bottle is transparency. A decided preference for the paper bottle is predicted by the American grocer. And speaking of bot ties, why is it that the cylinder shape is so largely in fashion? An immense say ing of room, and consequently in cost of carriage, would be effected, were square bottles used, and the same might be said of cans, ill which articles of food or for other purposes are packed. The square can has made great gains in the favor of packers within a few years, but the cyl inder is still largely used.-Boston Tran

good ordinary game Ike myself and the
real experts. mnde the comparison the

pected. In nine out Of ten games the man
who Is called q splendid player by
his very ordinary competitors would
make about two arches playing with Mr..
Jacobus, or DR.. Reed, or Mr.. Botsford, or
any other Of the cracks, = and the chances
are that he would not get hold Of the balls
at all during the game. With q weeks
practice, and after becoming used to the
ground and the narrow arches, he might
do better, and bother the expert seriously,
but he would not bt likely to win single
game the first year.

Furthermore, no man has any business
to try I'd play on such ground who can
not hit ball almost infallibly at dozen
or fifteen feet, and who cannot, after get
ting ball to play on, make the circuit of
the arches on an ordinary ground once out
of three or four times at least He ought
also to be able to make the different sorts
of roQuets-to send the driven ball long
distance while his own only moves few
feet, to send the two along together, and
to send his own further than the driven
bali. It is very handy, too, on occasion,
to be able to make 'sjump shot that
Is, to jump over ball you are "dead" on
and hit another one beyond and In line
with it.
According to the rules in force in the
National association, ball IS In play as
soon as it~is placed at the starting point
ready for the first tap. 1t is usual among
the experts-not to attempt the first wicket
on the first shot--the consequences OF
failure would be too serious-but to knock
down to the far corner, where the follow
ing player is not likely to get hold of him.
The great thing, of course, is to get hold
of the balls, send your antagonists next
ball behind wicket, and keep your own
balls well together, making Wickets when
you can, and never allowing him to get Q
shot except from behind wire.
When the game is played in this way,
It may be finished In ten or fifteen min
utes, but If the players get hold OF the
balls alternately, and make errors once IN
